The keyboard was one of the deciding factors in my choice to go with the Blackberry 8130 Curve from T-mobile. It has a raised, backlit, chicklet style keyboard and unlike anything else I've seen on the market today, it has haptic feedback in the form of a click you can feel, as well as a tit on the "5" key, so you can find the number pad by touch. The keys are almost square, but still slightly vertical with space between them. You can feel them easily enough and the click helps let you know if you hit the wrong one. There is Linux software to backup & restore, but my greatest finds were that it can sync over the air to your Gmail account's calendar. Google also has a pretty decent set of their more widely used services you can download. One of my favorite Linux compatibility parts is that it uses a standard USB connection and acts as just another USB thumb drive. This makes transferring images, videos, and ring tones a breeze. (It uses MP3 format for the ringtones... natively. I love my crackberry.
